Commencement history at Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵAPP tells a lot of stories, and one evolving\u00a0chapter is location.<\/p>\n
At one time, commencement was held in a gothic chapel on Maryville\u2019s original campus in South St. Louis City. Today’s Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵAPPgraduation ceremony is a family affair, but it wasn\u2019t always that way. No family members were able to attend the chapel ceremonies; the only visitors allowed to view graduation\u00a0were local priests.<\/p>\n
In the days since,\u00a0Maryville’s graduates have packed Powell Hall (1980), queued up outdoors on Commencement Lawn and a campus parking lot, and indoors in the Simon Center, sometimes depending on\u00a0the weather.<\/p>\n
